Hey is anyone around to answer a question or two?
1. What exactly is a blunder and a mistake and what's the difference?
2 Explain the little bar graphs during a game that appear to rate a move in some way. What do longer and shorter bars mean?
A blunder is a huge mistake which immediately ruins your position, While a mistake Ruins the position at a Smaller amount than a immediate blunder.
The bar means the advantage, The longer the bar the better your advantage.

My latest game. No "Brilliancies" or anything like that, but I held it together when the opponent came after my King with a dangerous Queen-Knight-Bishop combination. I anticipated threats by taking my time and in the end it was the opponent who left his Queen hanging. Anticipate threats, play solid to deny the opponent opportunities and if there is a blunder, let it be the opponent's. At lower levels there are going to be blunders. Just try to ensure you do not make them.
Play solid.

Just take your time. Don't hang your pieces and don't move your pieces on any squares that they can be forked by a knight or bishop. I don't know how many games I've lost from a fork or discovered attack and now I'm down in material.
To stop blundering in chess, build a simple checking routine before every move: look for hanging pieces, opponent threats, and checks, captures, and attacks. Take a few seconds to verify that your move is safe and doesn’t allow tactics. Focus on slowing down in critical positions instead of playing automatically. Regularly analyze your games to recognize recurring mistakes and fix them over time.

Learning a system for how you approach each position in a systematic way will help reduce oversights like under defended pieces/squares. A common method of assessing positions and one I recommend for players learning such processes initially is the CCT method- Checks, Captures, and Threats. If you identify all possible checks in the position, all possible captures in the position, and all possible threats in the position, it's a lot harder to miss that a piece is under defended. But don't be frustrated, instead focus on how to learn from the mistakes and improve for future games. Over time you'll find yourself giving away less material and winning more as a result.

This is a good idea for example I changed my settings to drag piece only and its helped a lot especially because it staps misclicks
When I was a newer player, I was a bit too ambitious with my ideas and would often blunder trying to force unrealistic tactics. Playing slower and seizing opportunities rather than forcing them helped tremendously.

A blunder is any move that loses if you're drawing or winning, or draws when you're winning.
That sounds like you've just made that up.
